By Private Car
-
From Dhaka, take the N3 Dhaka to Mymensingh Highway towards Mymensingh.

At the Mymensingh Bypass roundabout, take the first exit towards the N309 to Muktagacha.
-
Continue towards Muktagacha, then keep left onto the N401 and pass through Muktagacha town.

Approximately 2.5 kilometres after Muktagacha, right onto the Z4101 towards Chachua.
-
From Chachua, one of our guides will meet you and accompany you on the final short journey to Nalikhali Guesthouse.
-
We like to meet guests here because the last part of the journey is part of the experience: a slow 20-minute rickshaw ride through rice fields, small villages, and local teahouses before arriving at our home.
By Bus
-
We recommend United Bus Company.
-
Buses leave approximately every hour from Dhaka Mohakhali Bus Terminal and arrive at Maskanda Bus Terminal in Mymensingh. (Average travel time 2hrs)

From Maskanda, we can arrange:
-
a private vehicle pick-up

onward guidance from Chachua to Nalikhali Guesthouse

The drive from the Mymensingh Bypass to Chachua is approximately 24 kilometres and usually takes around 35 minutes, depending on local traffic and road conditions.
From Chachua, the journey changes pace. The final stretch to Nalikhali Guesthouse is not measured only in time or distance. By then, you have already entered The Garo Experience: a slow rickshaw ride through rice fields, small villages, teahouses, and the living landscape of the Garo homeland.
Travel Support:
Because Nalikhali is a village location, we recommend that guests contact us before travelling and at key locations along the route.
We can help confirm the best route, advise on departure time, and arrange the final transfer from Chachua.
